About The Bones Settling

The Bones Settling is a lyrical collection that explores grief and hope, longing and love through the lens of living with chronic illness. It is a companion for seasons of loss, nostalgia, and resilience, inviting an honest, unhurried sitting with it all.

Braiding nature and body together—forest and bone, birdsong and vein—these poems paint the beauty and the ache of what it means to be human. May the space between these pages offer a home to both name the dark and still look toward morning.

Visceral yet steeped in hope, The Bones Settling sits with those holding two opposing things at once, with those caught in that liminal space between loss and expectation.
